Aistė Ambrazevičiūtė is an experimental architect and artist based in Kaunas. During her master's studies at the Vienna Academy of Arts, Ambrazevičiūtė discovered her strengths in the experimental and interdisciplinary fields of architecture. Her projects focus on creating links between the natural and human-made environment, applying technology in practice, and synthesizing the arts in architecture. In 2019, she founded the 3D digital art studio Plantasia Lab, which aims to foster a variety of shapes and materials. During the residency, Ambrazevičiūtė works on the ongoing project Forest Tectonics. By observing the forest surfaces of Neringa, Ambrazevičiūtė investigates bark cracks and niche environments as landmarks of complexity and diversity.

Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė explores the tensions between objective and imaginary realities in her art works, asking relevant questions about humanity and humans as a species. Barzdžiukaitė's work is characterised as having specific harmonies between humour and serenity, simplicity and intellectuality, and her documentary manner of recording phenomena is combined with a well-thought-out structure of works. In 2019 Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė (together with Vaiva Grainyte and Lina Lapelyte) represented Lithuania at the Venice Biennale with the opera-performance Sun and Sea (Marina). Her film Acid Forest, created together with Dovydas Korba, about tourists watched by cormorants on the Curonian Spit, has been awarded at the Locarno Film Festival and other film festivals. Rugilė is currently developing a work with the working title Beauty is a Winner, Winner is a Queen.

Monika Janulevičiūtė is a graphic designer and artist based in Vilnius. By examining historical and archaeological knowledge, methods, and work traditions passed inter-generationally, she is looking at the technological processes accumulated over a broad timeline overarching thousands of years. The particular shifts, redundancies, and innovations that are investigated happen in multi-stage processes including fibre preparation, weaving, basketry and carpentry, practices of dyeing, staining, block printing, weathering, and tool making. This process goes tightly together with writing, drafting, and the prototyping of objects. Her main projects are The Lair (2020), the solo exhibition Water Striders at Editorial space in Vilnius (2019), and the touring performance GIRLISONFIRE (2018).

Dovydas Korba works with film, installation and visual arts. He studied Photography and Media Arts at Vilnius Academy of Arts, and at Transarts Interdisciplinary Arts Program from Die Angewandte Academy in Vienna. In his work, Korba studies language, re-creation, and different expressions of media as translation strategies. Korba also studied film production at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre, and together with Rugile Barzdžiukaitė, has founded the public institution Neon Realism. He is currently developing a creative project called Black Boxes.

Agata Marzecova is a researcher in ecology, photography, and new media based in Tallinn. As an environmental scientist, she has participated in a range of research projects that have analysed changes in lakes and their catchments during the transition from the Holocene to Anthropocene periods. In recent years, she has become increasingly involved in art-science collaborations which explore the porous boundaries between science, aesthetics, technology, and politics of environments. As part of the Neringa Forest Architecture residency, Marzecova explores the relationship between research methodologies and forest knowledge. Her research departs from ‘forest’ as a general category to examine how certain types of forest came to be regarded as ‘better’ than others and how different practices and values contribute to the emergence of different forest ecosystems.

Signe Pelne is an architectural designer and researcher within the field of architecture, living and working in Riga and London. Pelne is an alumnus of the University of Westminster and is currently completing her MA in Architecture from the Royal College of Art. She has also studied in Copenhagen and Beijing as well as experienced multiple architectural workshops in Canada, Germany, India, Latvia, and Estonia. Pelne’s work is a mix of research and architectural practice. It revolves around multidisciplinary work that is founded in socio-economic research. Mainly analysing the historical, architectural, and ecological contexts of the site, her projects focus on producing sustainable and socially positive environments.

Nerijus Rimkus is an editor and a designer based in Amsterdam and Marijampolė. He is interested in exploring form as a way of thinking, collaboration, and as a tool for publishing, whereby the traditional roles of author, editor, printer, or designer are intertwined. Currently a PhD candidate at Vilnius Academy of Arts, Rimkus studied at Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem and Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. He works on both commissioned and self-initiated projects, the most recent of which includes a timber bowl, a magazine titled The Nose of Orson Welles, and Laughter.

Philipp von Hase  is a furniture designer and maker based in Bergen. Before settling in Bergen, he was a journeyman, beginning his route in Hannover and manufacturing furniture in Copenhagen. Over the past decade he has been focusing on his own small-scale timber productions. A wood-oriented furniture maker, in his work, von Hase seeks to integrate the study of forest ecology, dealing with both single tree autecology and overall natural forest ecology. Learning from silvology, the biological science of studying forests and woods, von Hase incorporates the understanding of natural forest ecosystems into his craftsmanship.
